I wish a speedy recovery for Deputy Coffey. Met him several times when he was a street deputy & I was the WC at police shootings. He was always a good guy to have on the scene...looking out for the PO. Ret WC

Fred Coffey isn't your 'average' old man...he's in great shape, physically and mentally. Always was, which is more than one cansay for his recently promoted son. Man, did that bad guy pick the wrong old guy to fuck with! Speedy recovery, boss!

Best wishes for a speeding recovery. This could have been anyone of us whether retired or not. Situational awareness is important now than ever. Never leave home without your little friend at your side.

Fred, you should had did society a favor and put turn that asshole into ashes or 3 feet under in unmarked grave courtesy of cook county... I guarantee you... This asshole will be robbing and clowning soon as a judge says he is a stand up kid trying to go to med school

Please retirees move out the city...this place is hell on earth coming from a guy that's been to 35 of the 50 states ...there is better out here go somewhere warm where u can get a nice town house and swim and jog all year around!!! Why torment yourself? And don't say your kids they will understand just like I did when my parents left!

To all the nosey roseys questioning where the deputy or anyone else lives, please mind your own fucking business. He can live wherever he chooses to live without your approval and I'm sure he has his reasons why, and full well knows the consequences of his choices. If you make it to retirement, don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out. Hopefully there will still be a pension for you, but if everyone takes your advice and moves out, I don't know how that will possible.

Best wishes to you Chief Fred and thank you for taking a piece of trash off the street for the rest of us. What SCC does not report and likely does not know yet is the history of the offender. I cannot wait to not be surprised. Something tells me it is long and lengthy and just another example of a CPS school boy who has been locked up plenty of times by our police force and released more times than should be allowed by our States Attorney and Curcuit Court system or paroled by IDOC. I wonder if he has killed someone and we just do not know about it?

But you see, this is why there is crime on the street at the level it is in Chicago. In another post someone talked about the gangs going to the suburbs and Naperville police bosses back the police, there are plenty of police and they have time to respond in seconds. All of that is true but some things were left out. 1) The people in Naperville support and back the police and NOT BLM. 2) The people serve on the juries and convict dirtbags in court. 3) If you are the States Attorney and you do not support the police and lock the thug rats up, you are not going to survive the next election, 4) If you are a judge and not smart enough to understand the aforementioned, then you are not smart enough to be a Judge after the next election and the voters in Du Page are #5. Du Page has a more intelligent group of voters who are smart enough not to live in the city or pay attention newspapers and party slates of candidates.

Finally someone said it above: Chief should move to Naperville and get the heck out of the City. Once the police know you Chief, you will be among many friends, this I am sure of.

OT - This weekend has all the ingredients necessary for a full-blown shit show. Full moon starting Friday, the Riot Fest rock concert for the next 3 days, Cubs clinching the division and.......the resident jackals circling the herd, howling and laughing maniacally. Darting into the fringes of the milling, distracted crowd to drag off the weak, drunk or momentarily stupid.

Unfortunately the thug animal got off a shot but great job boss, thankfully you will be OK, but boss I know your solid but that area your in it be a changing quickly! On another note the black ministers are going to retaliate on removing in way to long no clue timmy evans:

Thinking about this maybe they could "retaliate" against father flaky for all the problems he has caused. Wait doesn't retaliation violate the biblical standards? But then again the old mb (make believe) churches have the make believe, ministers!

And IMHO, Good Shooting. You wounded the mutt, he's arrested, and will be in Jail when he gets out of the hospital and is convicted -- assuming a nitwit criminal friendly judge doesn't get the case.

And I say good shooting because if you had fired a fatal shot, like to the back. A shit-storm by the usual suspects would ensue for killing the ex-honor student and wannabe Brain Surgeon / Architect in 'cold blood'.

Plus there's that Lawsuit that would have been filed against you, which is as certain as the Sun rising in the East, Summer following Spring, and as sure as every lowlife is an angel who was 'turning his life around' -- and someone who liked puppies and singing in the Church Choir.

So all in all, this is the probably best result in this instance. Again, strictly my opinion, your mileage may vary.

Further proof that no one in any place of the city is safe. Not even the mayor's son with a small army on guard. That little twirling m.f. will get paid with karma. You Hillary can no longer keep up the facade. Payback is a bitch!!!

Hey, Dickhead ... STFU. There could be a hundred reasons why he stayed in his home and didn't move. Let's be thankful that one of our own survived a shooting and not get that "I hate all gold stars" mentality cloud whatever judgment you may still have.

Fred Coffey has always been a standup Boss and Copper. He has always been in exceptional shape I remember working out with him in the old OCD gym. I'm glad Deputy Coffey decided to stay in the neighborhood. We need more role models. Other than these young wippsersnappers on the job carrying automatic pistols and machine guns the guys I fear the most are the neighborhood cretins. I'm a SGT in 006 and I still live in the district and I'm glad I have comrades still in the neighborhood. I hope the assailant's parole officer is not even born yet. Get well soon boss. W

I'm going to start riding the CTA "L" system while carrying my 9mm. I'm licensed to carry, but understand CTA is no guns allowed. I don't give a rats ass. F*ck with me and I'm sending you straight to hell. BEWARE ! Then your momma can provide the news with a picture of you wearing your court ordered G.E.D. graduation cap.

Sorry going to have to call bullshit on that one. He arrived on scene to see who was the PO involved and what his or her clout was. If they had none he disappeared, and the PO was left to fend for themselves as OPS stepped in. Saw that occur on more than one occasion. Area Det.

hey ssc I knew coffey from my police days in 1990s he definitely was a racist and a hater but then again so were the bosses from Bridgeport I find it insane that he receiving a gold braided pension and still lives in the 3rd district , dude get a lefe move to florida, Arizona , tenn.

When you're a retired gold star, why live at 81st and Essex? Just goes to show how stupid some of these bosses are. It's not safe. Move out!

Do you know what happens when you assume, because you sound like the first three letters of assume. He does not live @ 81st & Essex, and if you knew anything about him you would know that. Now who is stupid??

I be whippin thoo the Hubbard's Cave at 75 and dis heah motherf__er ain't stoppin' until it reach FARGO!

Hilarious moment 'man who tried to break into removal truck' clings for his life on the BACK of it as it speeds down a highway

* Driver and his passenger spotted would-be thief on back of removal van* The pair can be heard roaring with laughter as he clings on for dear life* Appeared he tried to rob contents of the vehicle when it suddenly sped off

OAK PARK, IL — Village Manager Cara Pavlicek announced today that she has selected Oak Park Police veteran Anthony Ambrose as the new Chief of Police.

Ambrose, who has served as Deputy Police Chief since 2005, will succeed Rick C. Tanksley who announced last week that he will retire on Sept. 1 after nearly 33 years on the force.

“Tony Ambrose brings more than 30 years of law enforcement experience with Oak Park to this position at a time when I believe continuity and hands-on knowledge of the Police Department is critical,” Pavlicek said. “Tony has an established working relationship with community groups and citizens, which makes him the ideal candidate to be our new chief.

Why the fuss? Happens all the time since there's a 50% increase in manpower shifted to ghetto districts for the 3rd Watch.Isn't it about time to reassess the necessity of 2nd watch assignments for beat coverage vs. school sitters, review and excessive administrative help??What and who was the Deputy's contributions, accomplishments (or merit picks) to the Dept prior to his departure? (Past performance may be an indication of future results. Consult your chinaman before investing in merit selections.)

Never give up your gun FRED, that's the way to go. I hope that asshole copper who gave up his weapon reads what a real police officer does when faced with a punk(s). He fought back, and God only knows if he didn't, he'd probably be dead. Best wishes and a speedy recover.

Hey Jackass.... He can live where he wants. Everybody doesn't leave their family and friends when they retire

A note of THANKS to the many CPD Officers in 015, 025, 011, 012 and 010 that assisted the Sheriff's Police with the escort of our fallen Officer from Gottlieb Hospital to the ME's Office on Harrison.

You guys did an impressive job closing down intersections east on Madison to Damen to Harrison.

Many of your Officers were also on hand to render honors when PO Gallero was brought into the Stein Institute. He apparently suffered a Heart Attack while he was conducting the Colors Run with our Police Academy Recruits early this morning.

A sad day for all of us. Tomorrow was never promised to anyone, and this was proven out today.

Racist ?Hater? Screw you he was great when my white ass needed a good boss.

Part of the Supreme Jewelry store crew in Hyde Park. That was his clout along with a few others. they were the bodyguards for the rich jeweler and his wife. And, they guarded the store and sold diamonds.

Yes DAley did. He decided that he would ignore the Federal law. And, he had the support of the police superintendents, Hillary for one. I bet Uncle Terry went and got his carry card when he retired.Hypocrits.

So what is the latest rumors regarding any promotions. Have they asked for any merit packages yet or are they just going to promote who they want. Dicks results coming soon or are they adjusting numbers.

This is an example for all of us, be aware of you're surrounding, pay attention, and be alert. Know your weapon and practice at home and on the range. I know the new police don't want to hear this, but at least try not to give up your gun.

Coffey was a great boss...fair and decent man to all who worked under him in 004. To the poster who called him out as a 'racist and a hater,' you obviously didn't know the man at all, but that doesn't surprise me. Black bosses in this dept.are all pretty much described using those same words here on this blog. So be it. That seems to be a common thread here.Coffey has never lived on the 8100 block of South Essex. Fred has many ties here, and obviously enjoys his retired life here in Chi. It's his choice. He's obviously prepared for the thugs who think, or thought he was an easy target. It's a shame we don't have more bosses on this job today like Coffey. God knows he could use them. Heal up soon, boss.

And if he moved next door to you or your neighbor there would be mass exodus right? Who fucking cares where he lives? Can never win with some people on this job.

9/15/2016 08:04:00 PM]********************************Hey doofus, lots of black cops live on the northwest side and I haven't seen the white people fleeing the area. You're as bad as the public, about 30 years behind what is actually happening now. Hhmpf, hmpf hmpf, I'm a salty veteran and I know everything. Of course you do, Gracie.

Off Topic speaking of retirement. Where is a good place to retire outside of Illinois? Tennessee, Nevada, Florida, Texas.

*************************************************************************It looks like you are looking to go somewhere warm? Perhaps low crime? Have you considered Costa Rica? This applies to any of you. I will keep it short since this is OT but feel free to email me if the blog allows my post. CR is a great place to retire to. I am 48 y.o. and retiring next year from this hell hole. Yes, I'm leaving at 49 y.o. a whole year early. I'm raising our (soon to be) 6 y.o. daughter in CR. Very low crime, no RLC and very inexpensive healthcare.

The local healthcare is about $250/month and even with BCBS it's only $1,500/year additional per adult. If you buy a house and own a car you can easily live off of a 22 year (and a day) pension down there which is what I will have. Property is affordable depending on where and what you buy of course.

He likes where he lives , good job Fred . Always carry , to bad the punk isn't at the M.E.Another first time offender ? Vote republican in November , Democrats are not the friends of law enforcement or law abiding citizens .

Fred was a great boss. Worked for a lot of white assholes who couldn't even come close to this guy. Get well soon, and get the fuck out of here Boss.

9/15/2016 08:13:00 PM

Nothing specific needs to be revealed, but Coffey was a great boss. I, too, worked for a bunch of white and black, total jerks who couldn't even come close to Coffey. Also, the current exempt masqueraders wither in comparison.

Always been a "GANG" problem , but he Libs and Dems want to "save them" so they found "guns" to blame it on. You can't dump millions and create tax loop holes unless you are "saving" something so it's the guns that corrupt the poor uneducated inner city dwellers. I they didn't have guns then they would just chill and spread their wonderful culture all around the city and be peaceful
